The Black Horse, Orchard Street, Canterbury
© P.E. Blanche 2002

This is a delightful family run public house which is still maintains the true tradition of the British "local". It serves a charming older area of Victorian and Edwardian houses in the St. Dunstan's area of Canterbury not too far to the North of the Westgate Towers. It is also close to Church Street which runs up to the rear of the local church of St. Dunstan's which has a close association with Sir Thomas More.

It was originally part of the George Rigden & Co. chain of public houses and incorporated in a dividing wall at the rear of the property is a stone inserted by these local Canterbury Brewers with the date of 1909 impressed into it. Not very long until their Centenary year!
